It's Aaron Curry and it's a no brainer

[CanadaKC]

Let's get real...we are NOT drafting a QB at #3. Stafford and Sanchez are the best of a rather weak lot, and Thigpen has earned the right to try and improve on a shaky but promising season. Plus there's The Matt Cassel rumours.
It's simply too high to draft Orakpo, and we don't need a WR like Crabtree as much as we need a LB with Curry's ability. He's the only one who fits the value at that position.

[beach tribe]

Yeah, lets pass up a franchise QB prospect for a LB. Fuck that. These two QB prospects are as good as any we're gonna get a chance to draft. I don't think we're picking top 5 next season. Maybe top 10, but I don't see top 5. We could have won up to 6 games this year if it weren't for Herm, and I expect us to approach that # this season. Let's get our QB, and build the team around him.

I wonder if Pioli will look at our roster and think, "Hmmm. Talent-wise, which side of the ball is closest to being really good?" If he decides it's the defense, it wouldn't surprise me if we use high picks to fill the holes in the D. If it's offense, we go with the QB and O-linemen.

It seems as though he might think that's the fastest way to become competitive with the theory that our guys need to win some games - whether that's due to a good defense or offense - the bottom line is they need some confidence.

Dude, you have got to be shitting me. By my recolection, as of this time 1 year ago, Flacco was no where near NFL ready by any major analysts standards. He had a big arm and someone was going to try to develop him. That was the story. At this time last year, his footwork was awful.

Comparing these guys to Ryan is OK. Comparing them to Flacco is a joke.

[CanadaKC]

Sanchez will watch his stock fall like Brady Quinn's did. His skipping the senior season will have a lot to do with that. Curry is the better player at HIS POSITION than Sanchez is at his...plus you have to wonder if Cassel is following Pioli here...with us 30 mill under the cap...

no kidding--I recall reading EXACTLY THAT describing DJ in 2005 before the draft... we didn't pick him in the top three (which would've been fucking retarded even IF he'd have turned out to his pre-draft billing), and he's another example of the fact that NO PICK IS SAFE.

[CanadaKC]

arterback spot but it looks like Tyler Thigpen may have played well enough down the stretch to make the Chiefs feel comfortable moving forward with him as their starting signal caller. Personally, I don't know that Thigpen has done enough to justify passing on a top quarterback prospect but I'm not the one making that decision. Selecting Aaron Curry would not be anywhere near as flashy as a guy like Matthew Stafford or Mark Sanchez but that doesn't mean it's the wrong decision. In fact, Curry doesn't get nearly enough credit for being the top pro prospect that he is. The #1 senior in the country and a legit Top 5 talent, Curry can basically do it all. A great all-around linebacker who can stuff the run, drop into coverage and rush the passer, Curry is also versatile enough to play outside or inside in either a 4-3 or a 3-4 defensive scheme. The guyreally is the total package. With the Chiefs Curry could fit in on the strongside or in the middle and he would give their front seven the boost they need. Quarterback will obviously still be an option here as well and they would love to find a stud defensive end to replace Jared Allen but there probably won't be one worthy of this lofty pick. Also keep an eye on Malcolm Jenkins because outside of Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr they don't have much to get excited about at cornerback.

[FAX]

Yep. DJ was highly-touted. But, I'm not sure the scouts were all that wrong about him.

My personal opinion is that DJ is a victim of some really horrific coaching and player development on the part of the Chiefs. Over the past 5 years, we've brought in dozens of linebackers who have under-performed. It's funny how some of these guys go elsewhere to become solid contributors on good teams.

I feel for the guy. With any luck, Pioli will be able to put together a player development team that will address the enormous problems we've had in that area for years ... decades, really.

It's one of the reasons our drafts look so bad in retrospect. We simply haven't been able to work with kids to transition them to the NFL. If they're not completely awash with talent (ala Gonzo, Bowe, etc.), they don't seem to develop. In my view, that's one of Pioli's biggest challenges.

I have to agree with Doc on this one. Sanchez will be the pick. He has all the mechanics and decision making ability to be an NFL QB. He is also a leader for his team which is a must have for a QB. We can pick up someone like Ellerbe in the 3rd or find LB's via free agency imo.

When a guy is suffering from slow brain freeze, it makes him say all kinds of crazy stuff like, "I'm gonna pick up a 2/4 and watch some Farmer vision, eh?" and "Anybody Seen My Left Mukluk?" and "Let's draft Curry at number 3 you hosers."

In fact, Curry doesn't get nearly enough credit for being the top pro prospect that he is. The #1 senior in the country and a legit Top 5 talent, Curry can basically do it all. A great all-around linebacker who can stuff the run, drop into coverage and rush the passer, Curry is also versatile enough to play outside or inside in either a 4-3 or a 3-4 defensive scheme. The guyreally is the total package. With the Chiefs Curry could fit in on the strongside or in the middle and he would give their front seven the boost they need. Quarterback will obviously still be an option here as well and they would love to find a stud defensive end to replace Jared Allen but there probably won't be one worthy of this lofty pick. Also keep an eye on Malcolm Jenkins because outside of Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr they don't have much to get excited about at cornerback.

Damn son, take a breath.

Here's where I'd argue with your maple syrup ass but...um...yeah.

I'd say trade down, grab picks, go defense.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Let's get real...we are NOT drafting a QB at #3. Stafford and Sanchez are the best of a rather weak lot, and Thigpen has earned the right to try and improve on a shaky but promising season. Plus there's The Matt Cassel rumours.
It's simply too high to draft Orakpo, and we don't need a WR like Crabtree as much as we need a LB with Curry's ability. He's the only one who fits the value at that position.

kill yourself.

[Ultra Peanut]

Stafford and Sanchez are no Ryan and Flacco....they're not nearly as NFL ready...all the scouts say the same thing. Can't reach at number 3....only if we trade down do I agree with you.Stafford and Sanchez are constantly evaluated as being Top 5/10 in value and predicted as Top 3 in actual mocks. That is not a reach.

This was a weak QB class because Rhett Fucking Bomar was the top senior at one point. Then Stafford and Sanchez saved us.

Once the media is willing to admit this is by far the weakest draft in the 1st round in over the last 10 years I'll allow Iowanian to hook up his danger bike to my testes via the patented nuthooks and finish his flaming ramp of "CAN DO BEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOTCH" over a toast of 18 year scotch and fine breads and cheese.

It's so nice to have trust in our GM for the first time since the day Trazelle Jenkins was drafted. Pioli can draft a QB, LB, OT, trade down, whatever. I will pretty much accept anything he decides is best this year. My only absolute requirement of him this year was to fire Herm, and he's already accomplished that.

[Tiger's Fan]

Theres nothing funnier than watching Mecca call people out for being stupid, while posting in a style that reminds me of Jethro Bodine. Keep up the comedy gold, dude.

Now, back to the issue at hand. I WANT a franchise QB, always have. We haven't picked this high in ages, and I hope we don't for years to come. That said, I think you have to take the chance with a not completely proven Sanchez, after all, no one is a sure thing. I lived through the Blackledge debacle, but I've been over that for years. We need stability at the position, and Thigpen or a FA retread aint it.

[Rooster]

Yeah, lets pass up a franchise QB prospect for a LB. **** that.

I personally am not sold on taking a QB just to take a QB. If they are not good enough to be picked in the top ten they shouldn't be picked in the top three.

That being said I am very much interested in the combine. Maybe my opinion will change about these guys. KC has so many holes to fill they won't be all filled this year.

[Mr. Kotter]

Unless the kid is a consensus second-coming of DT or LT....no.

You don't use the #3 pick in the draft on anything less than a "sure thing" (at least as much as there is such a thing.)

I'm tired of people using Ryan and Flacco as examples of why we should draft Sanchez. The Falcons and Ravens could run the ball. Have you noticed that the Chiefs can't??? The only good rushing game the Chiefs had was against the Broncos. If the Chiefs had drafted Ryan or Flacco they would have had a rough season because of the Chiefs inability to run the ball. Just because a QB is a success on one team doesn't mean he will be successful somewhere else.

That's my take as well; a bit of a second-coming of Donnie Edwards....and we got Edwards in the 4th. While that was a steal, I see Curry as dropping by the time the draft rolls around until mid-to-late first.

Funny thing is, the Falcons O-Line was questionable going into last year's draft, which is the reason they traded back into the first round to get Sam Baker.

What actually happened though was that they got better play from a couple of young guys and more consistency all along the line because they got better coaching.

Now this is the bandwagon I just can not get on at all. Outside of Stafford and Sanchez, all of the QB's are projects at best. And from the way this draft appears to be setting up, the 2nd through 5th round or so seems to be where this draft is pretty deep at positions that also appear to meet our needs as well. O-line, LB's, possibly a WR, and maybe even a DE spot could be filled without reaching for some middle of the pack QB like Croyle. If we are going to take a QB... and I think we should... taking that QB at the top of the first is the no brainer. Not the other way around.

Exactly. I'm hoping this is a moot point by the time the draft gets here.

I know we won't land multiple top-tier free agents, but I do hope we land 1 or 2. At least 1 from this group: Suggs/Scott/Crowder/Dansby, and some help at DE (unless we land 2 FA LB & transition to 3-4).

[Gravedigger]

yea I'm tired of everyone saying that these quarterbacks are weak, Matt Stafford will be a playoff caliber quarterback mark my words. Sanchez given the right situation will be a playoff QB. The only weak part of this quarterback class is the senior part of it. Matt Ryan had issues with consistency and arm strength last year, which he proved everyone wrong. They waved a red flag saying Flacco was a reach at 18 of whatever the Ravens got him at. The point is just cause you heard it from Todd McShay doesn't make it true and I think that saying Aaron Curry is better than Maluaga... I think we trade down and god willing get Maluaga.

[RustShack]

Didn't you guys know every other pick and free agent is worthless? Our number one pick will be the only factor next year and who we get will make or break us.

[EyePod]

Yeah, lets pass up a franchise QB prospect for a LB. **** that. These two QB prospects are as good as any we're gonna get a chance to draft. I don't think we're picking top 5 next season. Maybe top 10, but I don't see top 5. We could have won up to 6 games this year if it weren't for Herm, and I expect us to approach that # this season. Let's get our QB, and build the team around him.

It really sucks because I think Colt McCoy is going to be better than both of these dipshits. But I don't think we'll pick high enough for him next year (top 3 probably).

[ChiefRon]

Didn't you guys know every other pick and free agent is worthless? Our number one pick will be the only factor next year and who we get will make or break us.

And we better load up to make the playoffs, cause I hear they won't have any more playoffs after next year. So it's next year or never.

[Saccopoo]

I seriously doubt that either McCoy or Bradford is better than Sanchez. Look, if you want to take the safe pick, you go with Curry or Oher. Period. End of story. Either of those guys are going to play in the league for ten plus years barring injury. Might not make the Pro Bowl, but they will be there. However, there are very, very few quarterbacks that have the potential to be a franchise type of guy. Only two in this draft, and only two next year, and I have my doubts about those two next year. The Chiefs have to make the move at QB now. Not with a crappy free agent (and the free agent market for QB's this year is nothing short of a steaming pile of monkey crap), not with a long shot in the 6th round. (Yeah, I know that they work out sometimes, but more often than not, they do not.)

Sanchez is smart (brother is a lawyer, another is a mortgage broker), has worked in a pro style set, has good pocket presence, is a natural leader with energy and motivation, is accurate in his reads and passes and his teammates seem to genuinely like him. He would also be a fantastic "face" for the franchise for the new millenium. There is a lot to like about the guy. And it's time the Chiefs rolled the proverbial dice on a quarterback that has the potential to be a ten year, Pro Bowl level guy. They need that. They desperately need that. Will Sanchez be that guy? Who knows? But he has the potential to be that guy, and the Chiefs haven't had the opportunity to get a guy like that in a long, long time. They screwed the pooch the last time they did. It's time to get it right. It's time to draft Sanchez.

Up until about two months ago everyone had this pegged as a quarterback spot but it looks like Tyler Thigpen may have played well enough down the stretch to make the Chiefs feel comfortable moving forward with him as their starting signal caller. Personally, I don't know that Thigpen has done enough to justify passing on a top quarterback prospect but I'm not the one making that decision. Selecting Aaron Curry would not be anywhere near as flashy as a guy like Matthew Stafford or Mark Sanchez but that doesn't mean it's the wrong decision.

Curry is 6'2" 247 and a way better athlete. Mayock said there are no holes in his game and he watched a ton of tape on him.

The point is that unless you have a sure-fire, game changing, phenomenal linebacker at #3 (Derrick Thomas, Lawrence Taylor), it's ridiculous to draft a guy that high. You'd invest $50 million dollars into a cover linebacker.

That's asinine.

I brought up Urlacher because he IS a game changing, Pro Bowl linebacker and he went at #9.

Number three overall is just to high for Curry, especially for the Chiefs since they don't even have a franchise quarterback.

[bigdreams1]

You draft Sanchez and pick up Bart Scott or Jonathan Vilma in FA. Hell with our cap space we could more than likely sign them both or sign another FA linebacker like crowder as well. We could also draft someone like Ellerbe in the 3rd round. Taking Curry is actually horrible value at the #3 spot. Free agency will tell us alot about who we are going to be drafting. Let's hope Scott and Vilma are on the way to red & gold. Than you get your franchise QB &&&&&&&&& a star studded linebacker corps. COULD YOU IMAGINE DJ VILMA AND SCOTT. WOWOWOW

And you're absolutely NUTS.

Thigpen is a joke. He can't play behind center and his play fell off in the second half of every game. His 4th quarter completion percentage is like less than 50%. He is NOT going to win the Chiefs a Super Bowl. Hell, he only won ONE game in 11 starts.

Furthermore, what makes you think the Chiefs will win more than 4 games next year? THEY ARE GOING TO SUCK AGAIN. Their roster is the most talent depleted roster in the entire NFL. One offseason is not going to fix every position, nor is it going to allow the Chiefs to have any depth behind their starters.

Finally, who gives a shit if Sanchez or Stafford sit on the bench next year? I mean really, who cares? Many first round QB's sat on the bench and went on to have stellar careers. Give me a freaking break.

NEVER pass on a possible Franchise QB.

Offseason Moves - Sacrifice everything to make the playoffs next year

Maybe then we can have some meaningful dialogue about what we'd like to see w/o the constant arguing back and forth about whether to draft a QB or not.

If you keep posting sensible things like this, I'm going to start calling you Captain Ron.

How far back do you have to go to find a LB taken with a top 3 pick?

2000, if you consider Arrington, but he was more of a hybrid pass rusher. I really think you might have to go back to Aundray fucking Bruce.

[Luke the Drifter]

Let's get real...we are NOT drafting a QB at #3. Stafford and Sanchez are the best of a rather weak lot, and Thigpen has earned the right to try and improve on a shaky but promising season. Plus there's The Matt Cassel rumours.
It's simply too high to draft Orakpo, and we don't need a WR like Crabtree as much as we need a LB with Curry's ability. He's the only one who fits the value at that position.

Well, Mr. CanadaKC, I have to agree with you on this pick. Mr. Curry has a very impressive resume for a young college man. Our linebackers really played very poorly this year. Now I'm a big fan of young Derrick Johnson and he will definitely be a starter next year but he needs some help. I also think he needs someone to push him to being better. My heart lept for joy when we resigned Donnie Edwards. When Mr. Peterson let him go before I was terribly disappointed. But alas I am afraid age as caught up with our Donnie. I think he would be a great linebacker coach someday. Maybe even has soon as next year. Maybe a player/coach, I know that is passe these to have a player/coach but I think he would be a good one. :skip:

I dont think those teams could afford the money the top 3 demanded, so they just started at #4 to control the cost...

[RedThat]

Pro-Football Reference.com has Filipowicz at the 6th overall selection.

Yup you're right. I just checked his profile on wikipedia and it said he was a 6th overall pick in the 1943 draft, AND, it says he is a RB? WTF?

Interestingly enough, he was also a baseball player too? As an outfielder for the Cincinatti Reds.

It's weird though? if you to go google and type in NFL draft history and it gives you the whole history of the NFL draft all the way to 1936. Scroll to the year 1943, and it shows his name there as #2 overall and as a LB.

[RedThat]

Oh and Dick Butkus was also drafted #3 overall in the 1965 draft.

This is messed up..I don't know if Im reading this right? On nfl.com/draft/history it has Butkus as the 11th player taken overall in 1965. Meanwhile on wikipedia is says he was the 3rd overall pick in the 1965 draft.

Easily explained. The Filipowicz brothers were twins. Big Steve and Little Steve. They used to take turns playing linebacker and, of course, when it came to pleasuring women, Little Steve called upon Big Steve to help out on occasion. They used to call it the "Ol' Filip Flop".

Derrick Thomas and LT were rush backers. Curry's best comparison would be to Urlacher, Ray Lewis, or Derrick Brooks (on the outside). None of the latter three are even remotely close to being worth as much to a team as a QB. Hell, the Bears rise and fall with Tommie Harris, not Urlacher, and Ngata, Reed, and Suggs mean far more to Baltimore than does the figurehead "Stab" Lewis

Ya and thats your opinion which is cool.

But on a defense that ranks 32nd in the league and is absolutely suckage in pretty much every defensive category I'll be glad to take any defensive player that resembles any of those guys you listed above.

The only problem with that is this year's draft is weak on the defensive side of the ball.

The Chiefs aren't going to be transformed in one year and next year's draft is loaded with a ton of defensive talent.

This year, not so much.

The Chiefs have so many needs I've decided I don't care who they pick as long as they are worthy of the big money they will make. The problem is the lack of top 5 talent in this draft.

[CanadaKC]

bumped for all the Sanchez pimps...:D

[Mecca]

Kevin Hardy, there you go, there's a comparison to what Curry is, do you really think that is worth this high of a pick?

[sportsman1]

Sanchez,Stafford,crabtree. We need a play maker drafting that high. You don't get that kind of pick every year. It would be so Carlish to not do this. If this is a new era we draft a play maker. If mediocrity is coming back.. then we draft Curry,or a o-lineman.

Pretty sure a Defensive Player can be a "Playmaker". We got one headed to the Hall of Fame this Year. We have Soooo many needs....draft the best player #3 ..... whether it's O or D.... but just please don't lock onto a position cause there is no "outstanding" prospects beyond Stafford. IMO.

Derrick Thomas was a game changing pass rusher, is that really hard to separate that from say Aaron Curry?

[keg in kc]

We'd basically be drafting a player who does the same things as Derrick Johnson, except he doesn't rush the passer as well? Is that the jist of it, or am I missing something?

That sounds to me like more of a luxury pick.

He's bigger and more physical and sound than Derrick Johnson but yea that's about it...think um Kevin Hardy.

If u honestly believe Sanchez is worthy of the 3rd pick in the draft ...... well....I don't know what to say other than U R a homer. Watched him many times .... well not that many due to his starts... maybe 17..... and find him to be a VERY good QB. But there is no way in hell I would draft him @ #3 if I had the pick. ZERO chance.

Considering Mark Sanchez is not from Urban Meyers shitty spread, doesn't have hands the size of a childs and has a good arm, yea I think it's pretty easy to separate them.

[The Buddha]

I think a lot of people are thinking with their emotions hoping for Joe Montana. Even if we got a great QB, it wouldn't do much good with the rest of the team the way it is.

Crabtree would be a playmaker, especially if Gonzo leaves. We would NEED another reciever without him. He's the only reason we've been able to get away with only having Bowe, Kennison, etc.

The Chiefs WILL NOT win more than 5 games next year, regardless of who's at QB or WR.

The Chiefs have the most talent depleted roster in the NFL and that isn't likely to change until 2010 at the earliest. IF a possible franchise QB is sitting at the #3 spot, YOU TAKE HIM.

PERIOD.

He was the #1 overall high school recruit. He was at USC for four full years. He played in many other games than just last season's 13. He would have been the outright starter in 2007 had it not been for the false rape allegation.

If he's there, you take him. Who cares if he sits on the bench for one season or ever two? Rivers sat on the bench for two years. It doesn't seem to have affected his play whatsoever.

Plus, the Chiefs will be lucky to win 5 games next year. They're not going anywhere soon and it may be the last chance to draft a possible franchise QB that high.

I am. Which is why I think having a defensive playmaker could be just as important as a good QB. So, whether a QB or LB or DE or whatever it may be, you go with the guy who you think will bring the most talent.

Tebow's probably a gadget player in the NFL. He's not an NFL passer, he's a thrower. Again, he plays in the spread.

I wouldn't discount him as a legitimate NFL player at another position, but not at QB.

He sat behind Brees because he wasn't ready to start. Brees didn't exactly light the world on fire in San Diego. Otherwise, the Chargers wouldn't have acquired Rivers with the 4th overall pick and they wouldn't have sent Brees packing.

Yes, absolutely.

Especially if the Chiefs address their center, right guard, right tackle and running back positions as I expect.

If he so obviously sucks, then how is it he's being picked by experts to be a top 5 pick? Granted they aren't always right, but they're right more of the time than most of us.

Its just something to think about. Its not like either one of us know who's going to be good or not.
